We've Moved!

We have been busy packing up our house and I have neglected this blog. Walker is doing fantastic and growing like a weed. He is talking so much and has started jumping. THAT is the cutest thing, EVER!

We lived on Catlett for 6.5 years. We had packed up most of our stuff the first time we put it on the market so we were thinking that this was going to be a breeze. We were wrong. I'm nowhere close to being a pack rat or hoarder, but dang, there was so much stuff.

We sold our house and did not find a new home. I refuse to settle and want what I want. There's no budging this girl. Right now we temporary in an apartment. It's spacious and nice. We are happy for the moment. I dislike taking the dogs for walks, I'd rather open the back door and have them run out to their yard.

We were without cable and internet for 4 days and I'm so tired of watching the same Mickey Mouse episodes and we back to our daily routines. 

Blood Results Are In...

"You ARE the father!" Just a little Maury humor.

I had my blood test on the 11th. I let a week go by before I started calling and I called from last Thursday until yesterday. I had a horrible migraine and decided that at 8pm I was taking PM's to get some sleep. I had given up that my doctor was going to call me back. At 9pm, right when the pills were kicking in and I was extremely groggy, he called. 

I have always had the suspicion that I had poly cystic ovary syndome, PCOS. I fit every check box possible. Last night when Dr. I called the first thing he said was, "You definitely have PCOS. There's no doubt. You were right.". So that made me feel good. Good that I was right and good that I have officially been diagnosed. 

We discussed how we conceived Walker and furthered our plans to start trying to make another Emery baby. I'll go for an ultrasound to check out my insides. He's calling me in a prescription for Provera and Clomid. After the ultrasound when he has looked over the scans, we'll start with Provera. Provera kick starts a woman's cycle. Clomid is to stimulate ovulation. 

These two drugs are the same ones we used to conceive Walker. We'll follow these steps for three cycles. If I am not pregnant by the end of the three months, I will be referred to a specialist. The same specialist is monitoring my chart, ultrasound scans, and progress. If he thinks something else will help us get pregnant, we will take his suggestions. 

We were really lucky and conceived Walker on the first try and we are praying hard that this new journey is just as easy. We are so excited! I had a mom friend send me her ovulation strips (Love you Kimmy!), and I had another friend offer another set tonight (Thanks Jana!). We can't wait to get started!

Having a baby changes a person and I get super excited when people express interest in joining our journey for another baby. 

Making Strides

When Walker was first introduced to solids we had to stay away from fruits. They have bacteria that was sensitive to the bacteria that was already in his stomach. So we stayed away for a while. We tried peaches and he would gag. He likes bananas but only in the form of purees.

He has tried watermelon but I wouldn't say that he loves it. He tried grapes but didn't care for those too much. He does like tomatoes, though. I love summer fruit and have kept different types in our house this summer. He tried my nectarine a while ago and loved it. He likes bananas but likes to eat them whole and not cut up. He's a picky monster! I am trying apples this weekend.

He was sloppy, sticky and needed a change of clothes after eating his nectarine. Loves them!

Wordless Wednesday

What a little turkey! 

Wordless Wednesday

Nothing to see here. Just a thief eating a stolen Snicker's, trying to hide under his bed.

"Hey! Get back here with that photographic evidence!" 

Smiley Boy

There is rarely a moment when Walker is not smiling. He's so darn cute! He is very ticklish like his Dad and let's out a great little laugh. I live to hear that laugh. Melts my heart.

He's so funny! You can only see those two small teeth on the bottom. He has 10.5 teeth and working on another molar on the bottom. Geez! 

It Never Fails

Our nights go something like this: dinner, bath, milk, put the dogs in their kennel, drag Walker out of their kennel and put him in bed. He LOVES Tie Bear so much, it's unreal!

He seems pretty happy with sleeping with the dogs.
